A Nun and A Blind Man...

A nun is in the shower when there is a loud knock on the door to the convent. All the other nuns are working out in the back garden and cannot hear the knocking.

So, the showering nun calls out, "who is it?"

To which the following reply comes, "I am the blind man from town."

The nun runs down the stairs naked to open the door.

"Great tits", says the man. And then proceeds to say, "So, where do you want these blinds?"

Thought I would share this little piece of Australian humour.

Sydney Lifts Water Restrictions


With enough rain the current water restrictions were always going to be lifted. It was really only a matter of time. The current water restrictions are to be lifted at midnight tonight. What this means is that Sydney residents can again use hoses and sprinklers (photo) every day before 10.00 and every day after 16.00.

These times are not absolute in the sense that if it is a really hot day then sprinklers can be on to allow children to cool off.

There are other specific rules in place such as hoses must be fitted with a trigger nozzle if they are going to be used to wash cars. It seems like I will be making a trip to the hardware store to buy a trigger nozzle.

However, I am not planning on watering the garden for a couple of days considering the previous two days have been nothing but rain. The garden is pretty wet already.
